Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2692 - 2691: What Is This Ah?

Within the Earth Dragon Treasure Vault, Lin Dong positioned himself in a cross-legged stance, shutting his eyes and focusing intently, seemingly forging a delicate link with the ambient natural forces around him.

The Little Winged Dragon floated overhead, its youthful but sagacious tone caressing Lin Dong like a gentle spring gust, unveiling the mysteries of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique.

"The Earth Dragon Treasure Technique consists of three levels," the Little Winged Dragon’s voice resounded in Lin Dong’s mind, infused with an archaic and enigmatic cadence. "The initial level achieves Small Accomplishment through grasping ’Wind Escape.’ This Wind Escape serves as the Earth Dragon Clan’s hidden method for seamless underground movement, rendering your form as airy as the breeze, vanishing in an instant from foes’ view."

A slight crease formed on Lin Dong’s forehead; he recognized the vital role of acquiring Wind Escape, yet he realized it posed no simple challenge.

Nevertheless, his gaze betrayed no trace of backing down; instead, it burned with eagerness and aspiration for that enigmatic strength.

"The next level reaches great accomplishment by commanding Lightning Escape," the Little Winged Dragon went on. "Lightning Escape embodies peak velocity. Employing Lightning Escape grants you swiftness akin to a bolt of lightning, catching adversaries off guard with no chance to respond."

A spark of eagerness ignited in Lin Dong’s eyes, as though he envisioned himself racing amid thunderous flashes, the fusion of velocity and might stirring deep within him.

"The final level attains Perfection via mastering Fire Escape," the Little Winged Dragon’s tone held a trace of reverence. "Executing Fire Escape leaves no trace or silhouette, completely releasing the full might of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique!"

Lin Dong drew in a profound breath, grasping that conquering these three stages would unlock his path to genuine supremacy.

Still, he understood this journey wouldn’t unfold in a flash, demanding vast dedication and toil.

"Yet, human youth, I have to warn you," the Little Winged Dragon’s voice turned grave abruptly, "From what I recall, no human has ever grasped this Earth Dragon Treasure Technique. Thus, I can’t pinpoint the duration for a human to acquire the first, second, or third level of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique."

"That said, among the Earth Dragon Clan, the quickest to claim the first level spent three years! The swiftest for the second level was the same one, needing ten years! The fastest for the third level required twenty years!"

"As for you, haha, I’d wager at minimum a century!"

The Little Winged Dragon’s statement hit Lin Dong like icy water dousing him, but his resolve remained unshaken.

He fixed a steady gaze on the Little Winged Dragon, declaring resolutely, "A hundred years? Maybe so. But I’m certain that regardless of the duration, I’ll endure."

Upon finishing, Lin Dong sealed his eyes shut once more, seeking to bond with the nearby wind forces. He felt the wind’s currents, heeded its whispers, merging as one with the breeze.

In that instant, time appeared to stretch and fade as Lin Dong plunged wholly into his training. He persisted in reaching out to the wind essence, laboring to seize the elusive Wind Escape Technique.

The Little Winged Dragon kept murmuring near Lin Dong, its words laced with an age-old and arcane flavor. Yet, prior to their completion, a startling shift erupted without warning.

Lin Dong’s eyes snapped wide, a peculiar aura coursing within him, strangely harmonizing with the encircling wind essences.

Right after, his form grew hazy in the Little Winged Dragon’s sight, like being whisked by a fierce gale, vanishing promptly from his spot.

"Wha... what’s going on?" The Little Winged Dragon’s eyes bulged, struggling to accept the scene before it.

It had never witnessed a soul claiming the first level of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, ’Wind Escape,’ in so brief a span!

"What sort of prodigy is this!" The Little Winged Dragon burst out involuntarily, its tone brimming with incredulity and astonishment.

It reflected on its earlier remarks regarding the time a human might need for the first level of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, now deeming them ridiculous and comical.

Lin Dong’s silhouette darted rapidly across the Earth Dragon Treasure Vault resembling a phantom Wind Eagle, every motion harnessing the wind’s force flawlessly, letting him glide unbound through the void.

His pace proved so blistering that the Little Winged Dragon could scarcely track him, depending solely on echoes and scents to pinpoint him.

"This isn’t gauged in years but plainly in moments!" The Little Winged Dragon whispered to itself, overflowing with wonder and esteem. It started questioning if its view of human potential had been overly limited and biased.

The greatest Earth Dragon prodigy trains in spans of years. Yet this human youth, practicing the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, measures progress in mere minutes.

Such aptitude defies the natural order!

As Lin Dong halted and materialized anew before the Little Winged Dragon, a profound elation and fulfillment shone on his features.

He recognized that he had conquered ’Wind Escape,’ marking the inaugural phase in honing the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique and his launch toward true dominance.

"Have I... truly conquered ’Wind Escape’?" Lin Dong’s words held a touch of doubt, yet brimmed chiefly with thrill and self-assurance.

He turned toward the Little Winged Dragon, awaiting its affirmation.

"Indeed, you have truly conquered ’Wind Escape’!" The Little Winged Dragon’s response bore notes of respect and acclaim. "Such prodigious aptitude and rapidity are unprecedented in my sight. Human youth, you’re fated to rise as an extraordinary force."

Lin Dong grinned and inclined his head, aware his path stretched far ahead.

"Yet, grasping Wind Escape falls short. This velocity won’t evade the chase and assault from Sub-Ancestor tier experts," Lin Dong whispered.

His tone conveyed a measure of deference and caution regarding Sub-Ancestor tier experts.

During the second trial, he confronted a Sub-Ancestor tier puppet, finding himself utterly outmatched.

Encountering an authentic Sub-Ancestor tier Heavenly Realm Martial Artist would prove utterly unattainable.

Solely through relentless enhancement of his prowess could he grasp a chance of survival against Sub-Ancestor tier foes.

With those words spoken, Lin Dong shut his eyes anew and started training in the Thunder Shield. The Thunder Shield forms a further stage of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, embodying the mastery and application of thunder and lightning’s might.

Lin Dong realized that truly dominating the Thunder Shield demanded greater exertion and perspiration.

It wouldn’t yield to cultivation as rapidly as Wind Escape!

The training was grueling and extended, yet Lin Dong displayed no inclination to yield or abandon.

He devoted himself entirely to the practice, as if oblivious to time’s flow. Amid the lightning’s tempering, his physique toughened, and his command of thunder and lightning’s force sharpened progressively.

In the meantime, the Little Winged Dragon observed Lin Dong quietly from nearby, its mind brimming with expectation and intrigue.

It yearned to discover the wonders and splendor this prodigiously gifted human youth would forge henceforth.
